About This Quiz

If you ever went to church as a kid, odds are someone has played you an episode of "Veggie Tales." This series took to VHS tapes nationwide back in 1993, with a new incarnation premiering fall of 2019. Each episode tackles a different bible story/lesson, often mixed with pop culture references or other lore to give it a unique spin. The first original episode was titled "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?", which was released in December of 1993 to critical acclaim from the Christian community.

With two feature-length films, over 50 videos from the original series, two Netflix shows and countless vegetable companions, there's a lot to remember about this franchise. Think you can remember all of your fiber-filled friends from this staple children's program? Prepare to sing some silly songs, get out your Larry-Boy collectible pencil case and have a seat as we test your knowledge on the fruits & veggies we have come to love. This pop-culture parody and biblical crossover has a plethora of characters and stories to tell. All that time you spent in Sunday school singing "Oh where is my hairbrush?" is all about to pay off right now. We can only give you bragging rights, but we can guarantee your inner child will thank you by the end of this.
